Immunizations and Vaccines

Vaccines prevent serious illnesses — including many that are easily spread in schools and daycare centres. Routine vaccinations for babies, children and adults are offered free of charge. Vaccination is important across the lifespan; Ontario's Routine Immunization Schedule provides information on the vaccines recommended at each age.

Immunization Clinics

Our routine immunization clinics offer vaccines for people of all ages for those without a local Health Care Provider. Appointments are required, as walk-ins are not currently available.

Immunization Records and Exemptions
